Slashdot Mirror

Agreed, a universal solution is a tall order. Complete privacy could also be a tough one.

The OP may have to settle for an XMPP gateway of some kind.

The TRS-80 model II was my very first computer, and I learned basic coding on it. I can't remember the language

Yes you can.

Somehow that's like a reverse-twist version of the panflute flowchart.

old-school business mentality coming head to head with something too revolutionary

You mean head to head with something too insane. What is the slashdot-supported model that he's too stupid to believe in? Would that be throwing billions of dollars overboard as youtube sinks to the bottom of profitability trying to stay free? Would that be Twitter, which currently sells no products, no paid services, and generally has no source of income at all?

Here's my model of the only possible internet. You pay for services, including downloading all content. That means paying the 10 euro/mo or whatever for rapidshare if you want to download free projects (unless they can get donated bandwidth from a university). Commercial projects can support their own bandwidth needs. If you want quality tech news, subscribe to Ars Technica - they're not going to just work for free.

Everything these days seems to be obsession with Free Free Free because there's some expection that selling advertising space is the best way to construct a stable world wide web. This is literally as absurd as paying for an expensive government program by selling advertising space in the WIC offices. OK yes that's income, but I don't want my premium services depending on that kind of funding.

Everyone clamoring for Free.. that's just not the way the world works. Toss em out -you wont need masses of readers anymore to support ad revenue- and let us pay you a fair price for the service you tender. Why would someone even think that they would make their newspapers available for free? Is this some kind of base assumption we run on that everything on the internet should be free and we just flush the bills down the toilet? What's happening is they incur cost producing Content and then they give it away for free. What kind of crazy business model is that, you make NO PROFIT. Strip off all this advertising crap. Charge for premium content. Turn the web into a real, competitive marketplace. We can dig deeper so only for actual content and services by the way.. I'm in the very very late stages before I fall asleep so none of this is probably legible. i;; see tomoreew

I tried blogging, that fizzled out the night I started. I tried microblogging using facebook and twitter, that petered out after a month or so. I can only assume that once we have nanoblogging, I won't be into that either. Some people need a forum to sound off to the world. Others, like me, are indifferent.

Proving that trigonometric identity using Excel is surely an amazing feat...

Another version of the joke

Linky to a very appropriate Toothpaste For Dinner comic. I suspect most people here are dicks.

Flowcharts can be very useful and convincing.

You know this is what they're really thinking

Here's a solution

After graduating college, I had a variety of awul jobs, like working in a can factory and whenever I felt bad, I would keep my spirits high by remembering: well, at least I'm not in grad school

Honestly, don't people have better things to do with their lives than argue about things that happened well over 10 years ago and that didn't affect their own lives at all? Oh, that's right, it's the internet.

How are they going to make a sequel to this game? Katamultiplayer (either timed competition or FFA snowball fight)?
